Murun Buchstansangur was a gentle but most unusual animation, often
shown as a gap filler between programs. Only one episode is presented here but
I am sure I have more somewhere. The story concerned the life, loves and
adventures of a little character who lived underneath the kitchen sink in a
house on a street corner. I do not know what Murun was and I cannot for the
life of me think of something which to compare him to. Needless to say his
world was very different to ours in terms of the size. Murun was very small
(you can get some idea of his size in the picture below which shows him beside
a public telephone). He was not the only one of his kind as several of his
species popped up in other stories. He also had family but they did not live
with him. He had a lot of friends especially of the female variety, all of whom
were human in form but similar in height / size to Murun. He interacted with
most human sized objects e.g. phones and even went out to the theatre and
restaurant. However, we never see any normal sized humans in any of the
episodes. The series copyright was 1985 but I taped most episodes between 1994
and 1995 from Channel 4.

Murun Buchstansangur

Each episode lasted approximately four minutes or so and was written and
narrated by Timothy Ford.

Episode guide (only one to start with)

Problems problems.

Murun Buchstansangur cannot sleep. He is in a quandary. He does not know what
to do about his problem. The problem is that he has promised to go to see a
play with his boring old cousin Rossiter - a play that he did not particularly
want to see. His other problem is that he also promised to go to a party with
next door neighbour - a party he did not want really to go to. Both these
events occurred tonight. He had to cancel one of them but which one.

When Murun got up he found an old friend sitting outside
waiting for him. How unexpected he thought!. They went for a walk in the
country but it did not help as he kept on thinking about his problem. They went
for walk by the river but still he had the same thing on his mind.

He decided that he would phone the neighbour using a public
telephone box, but the neighbour's phone was engaged. Murun and his friend thus
went to the museum. He then thought that he should contact Rossiter but alas he
did not know how to - what a terrible dilemma. They went to a restaurant for
dinner. During dinner Murun looked at his watch and realised that Rossiter
would be just going in to see the ghastly play.

Later Murun and his friend went home and drank red wine and
played chess together. He later thought that his next door neighbour would be
just arriving at the party. He really felt rather awful but he thought he would
do his best to make the most of the evening. Later as he lay in bed he pondered
over the day's events what he had done. He soon came to the conclusion that
when faced with two tasks - do neither as that way you avoid the possibility of
making the wrong decision.
